JESUS’ BODY WILL DO GREATER THINGS Remember, Jesus didn’t come to make converts but ambassadors. He didn’t desire a Church of immature individuals, but rather a Church of matured saints, unified into one body, thinking and ministering with one mind and one accord those things that come from the body’s one head—Jesus. The statement in […]

A COMMAND FOR PERFECTION One of the factors that determine whether a minister succeeds or fails in reaching men is in how well they comply with the Great Commission found in Matthew 28. Matthew 28:19-20 (19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, […]

HOW DO YOU SPELL CHURCH? This may come as a shock to some, but Jesus did not come to fill buildings; He came to change men. A religious spirit causes a person to complain they have yet to find the perfect church. Their “church” is spelled with a lowercase “c,” and refers to a building […]

RELATIONSHIP AND NOT RELIGION I’ve heard it said religion is man’s approach to God, and a relationship is God’s approach to man. I must agree. The Encarta Dictionary defines “religion as: (PLEASE NOTE: any Bolds, UPPERCASES, Underlines, or [bracketed area comments] are added by me.) “(1) people’s beliefs and opinions concerning the existence, nature, and worship of a deity or deities, and divine involvement in […]

Nowhere else does Jesus react more fervently than when He goes to Jerusalem to observe Passover during His first and last year of ministry. John’s account of Jesus’ first cleansing of the Temple (See John 2:13-21) is not unlike those in Matthew 21, Mark 11, and Luke 19, which describe the same sort of event […]

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Psalms 34:18). David knew all too well what it’s like to be heartbroken and crushed in spirit. He felt the stings of rejection from his father, his brothers, his king, his men, his people, […]

Jesus said His apostles would first preach His message of salvation on the day of Pentecost (see Luke 24:47). This came to pass as recorded in Acts 2. On that day, the Holy Ghost was poured out, and under that anointing, the apostle Peter gave this prophesied message. Those hearing him asked how they could […]

GROW Part 1 / Lesson 4 – BORN AGAIN BY FAITH 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye […]

Angels told 500 disciples that the way they saw Jesus ascend into heaven would be the same manner in which they would see Him come again (See Acts 1). Consequently, some men teach this passage refers to a literal physical return of Jesus to the earth. But when we examine this verse, we find its emphasis is […]

April 7, 1985, I asked God to “prove” He is real. My life was in shambles at the time and I saw little reason to carry on. God answered my challenge that next Friday when I was invited to an Apostolic church service for the very first time. That night the preacher spoke a message […]

Your gift is appreciated!

Welcome, in Jesus’ name!

I first answered my call to preach the “good news” of Jesus Christ and His kingdom in 1986. The purpose of this Website is to share the biblical truths I’ve come to see through prayer and study. My hope is you visit here often, and that when you do, you are challenged to be more like Jesus and less like yourself. –TK Burk
